You’ll make your own way to Bristol set on the Avon River in the southwest of England. Upon arriving at the luxury hotel on the outskirts of the city, you’ll check in* and have time to settle in and unwind, perhaps with a treatment at the state-of-the-art spa.

This evening, a three-course dinner will be served at the hotel’s award-winning restaurant.

*Check in time is from 3pm.

After breakfast, you’ll get on the coach for the quick journey into the heart of Bristol.

Here, you’ll have some free time to do some last-minute Christmas shopping or perhaps visit Vintage Winter Wonderland in Millennium Square. With a selection of rides and places to eat, why not purchase a cup of mulled wine and take a ride to enjoy spectacular views over the glittering city and its rooftops?

Towering over the market, a 15-metre-tall Ferris wheel can be found, decked with lights and ornaments. Perhaps purchase a cup of mulled wine and take a ride to enjoy spectacular views over the glittering city and its rooftops.

The coach will then return via the Clifton Observatory for views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, an iconic Grade I-listed structure spanning the dramatic Avon Gorge and dating back to 1864.

Tonight, there will be a celebratory ‘Bucks Fizz’ reception at the hotel followed by a three-course dinner with entertainment.

Have breakfast and then board the coach for an excursion to the nearby city of Bath, UNESCO-listed and named after its ancient Roman-built baths. 

The Roman Baths, which were built around 70 AD can be viewed along with a museum displaying artefacts from that period. A towering Gothic-style cathedral, Bath Abbey, will be another stop, as will Pulteney Bridge, one of only a few historic bridges in the world with shops built into it on both sides. You’ll also get to see the iconic Royal Crescent, a semi-circular row of 30 terraced houses looking out over the Royal Victoria Park and the city.

You’ll then board the coach and return to the hotel to unwind. This evening, a pre-dinner drink of Prosecco and nibbles will be offered before a three-course dinner enhanced by entertainment.

Once you've had breakfast, you'll make your own way home.
